Oh no my internet is down!!! Why can't you surf and Tips on what to check. Part 1

Troubleshooting an internet connection for most people can be an often frustrating task. A persons internet will one day slow down or go down completely and they feel helpless. They will call their ISP and complain and not really understand why they're spending so much money on a connection that seems so slow or doesn't work. The first instinct is to call the ISP (Internet Service Provider) when there are many things one can do before calling. These posts will be my attempt at empowering those… Continue

HDMI and You (part 2)

Last week, I wrote about dualview using only 1 screen. Today I hit a snag - when I went to turn on my computer, my TV wasn't able to pick up the signal. After the summary vaudville panic/swearing sketch, I managed to boot into safe mode and since there was a newer display driver out, I decided to update. And now I'm back. But I'd like to highlight a very important caveat about my previous post. Whatever you do, make sure your display is turned on first. Better yet, don't bother turning… Continue

PirateBay Server On Display

The server from The PirateBay (a popular file sharing website) was taken from a police raid last year, the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology purchased it for $240 USD from a member of the Privacy Bureau.

"This is an object of contemporary society and a museum collects such items," curator Nils Olander told AFP.

"And it is a part of our mission as a museum not to avoid complicated questions," he said.

Some people t… Continue

Windows 7 Beta Testing: Multiple Monitors, Multiple Taskbars

Hello out there! So we all waited and finally got access to Windows 7. With some good updates, it certainly feels better than Vista, but still has some drawbacks. One of the HUGE upgrades is the ability to use multiple taskbars when using multiple monitors. I used my laptop with auxiliary 24" display at work, and was elated to be able to use multiple taskbars. I'd like to hear what other Beta testers are thinking... and ...now the problem: As I said: I am currently running Windows 7 with dual m… Continue

New Monitor

Hey Geeks! Today I stopped by Best Buy to find myself a new monitor. I had a little bit of Christmas money left over and I'm constantly running out of space on my desktop. After hooking up the new LG Flatron W1942T and setting up the dual monitor configuration in Windows Vista, I was quite satisfied. I don't know how I would live without a dual monitor setup after using it for only a few minutes. It's not like it's new technology or anything, and nothing to really brag about. I'm simply express… Continue

Dual Display

Do you have working monitors around your house do you have a AVI to DVI cable? Well if so you probably use Dual display mode. Dual display mode is having one computer and letting you move applications onto a different monitor. It's like in those movies where the mouse goes from on screen to another. That is exactly what Dual Display Mode is. My padre (father for those of you who don't know simple Spanish) has 3 monitors set up in his office. He uses it to monitor the offices servers and surf the… Continue

All I want for Christmas

Yeah, the guy that doesn't even do the christmas thing has something he's ALWAYS wanted for christmas... Since I was a frigging child I've always loved the idea of one day walking down the street and wearing my computer and seeing what's stored in its video ram. WAY back when, that was a hard thing to imagine one day having, but I imagined it all the same. I remember holding camcorders and looking through the little view finders and wondering if I could one day use it to some relevant purpose b… Continue
